Abstract

In mid-1984, denunciations about the "Horrors in the Madre de Dios River" appeared insistently in the Lima newspapers. Peasants in a state of slavery, men and women are led "hooked" as workers to the gold pans. No one is responsible for the fulfillment of employment contracts. They themselves do not know if they will return alive, said the headlines of the less sensational newspapers. In a magazine (BOLPEBRA) there is a page dedicated to the problem of employment with an interview with the owner of a well-known private employment agency. The interview ends with diatribes against her calling her "the best-known hooker in Cusco."
